How to Lift a Travel Trailer to Help Clear a Steep Driveway
Question:
Can you please let me know if you have any lift kits available for a Trialmanor 2009 3124KS travel trailer. I need to raise the trailer a minimum of 4inch to clear a steep driveway.

The only thing that we have that will may lift the height of your trailer would be using an Over-Under Conversion Kit, # K71-384-00 for a 2-3/8 inch axle or # K71-385-00 for a 3 inch axle tube.
These kits will allow you to move the leaf springs to the top of the axle. In turn raising the body to the amount of the thickness of your leaf springs and the axle. Example, if your leaf springs are 2 inched thick and you have a 2-3/8 inch axle, then will raise the trailer 4-3/8 inches from its original position.
